Figure 5: PCA biplot showing the factor loadings and the factor scores from
the microbial degradation of gasoline on brownfield soil over 30 days. Variable
abbreviations are as shown in Table 2. Soil samples are designated as “F” for
Fall, the number of days of degradation and the replicate number (e.g., F-4-1
is the first replicate from a sample aged four days on Fall soil). Note that the
observations begin in the lower right quadrant and progress to the upper right
quadrant over the course of 30 days.
